Magarena 1.59

[melvin]

This release adds 72 new cards and proper support for modal effects. A new AI
based on MTD(f) is currently being tested, and modifications were made to the
MCTS AI to improve how it plays when it is on the losing end.

A major refactor effort to separate the UI from the core game engine was
completed. This will make it easier to update or add new UIs in the future.

Thank you Melvin!!! Magarena is a brilliant Magic based variant and I'm always happy to see a new release. I wish I knew how to script as I miss my buddy the Sengir Vampire.

I don't know if you are aware of this but mtgimage.com has been shut down as of March 10, 2015 by wizzards of the coast so new/missing images are not downloading.

We have had a small discussion about this (see issue 104). TLDR : you will have to wait for the 1.60 release at the end of this month or you can download the latest build to resolve this unfortunate event.
